Mary Berg works smarter, not harder with some kitchen relay meal prep that starts with a Tex-Mex Chicken skillet.

This prep pulls double duty in pre-baking the components of her Seared Sausages with Veg and Polenta. The final stop in the kitchen relay combines all the remaining bits from the last three meals into a Leftover Sausage and Chicken Soup.
